A memorial is growing outside a Walmart in Halifax after a 19-year-old employee was found dead inside an oven in the store Saturday night.
Cards, flowers and candles adorned a post in the parking lot of the Walmart on Mumford Road Wednesday afternoon.
This comes after Halifax Regional Police (HRP) responded to a sudden death at the store around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police confirmed Tuesday that the woman was found in a large walk-in oven belonging to the store’s bakery department.
However, no other details about the ongoing investigation have been released, including the manner and cause of death.
“We do not have any updates or details to provide at this time,” HRP Const. Martin Cromwell told CTV News in an email Wednesday.
Police have said the investigation is complex, involves several partner agencies, and is expected to take “a significant amount of time.”
